Advantages: Small, light, great fun while it works Disadvantages: Soon broke down, and customer service is non-existent
SWEEX Keychain.
I ordered this for myself and, at first, it worked very well - so much so, that I ordered up several more as gifts.
The I went on holiday for two weeks, came home, turned on the keychain, and it had simply stopped working - no amount of re-setting and re-starting, as per the instructions, made any difference. That was at the beginning of June 2008.
Emailed Sweex and, after some weeks, got a response, in Dutch. Replied, asking if they could please explain in English, then got back the same suggestions as contained in the manual (which I had told them I had already tried, with no success)
Several more emails. Sweex told me to send the keychain to Giant Gadget, a company in England, which I did.

Advantages: Versatile, inexpensive, bargain offline buy. Disadvantages: Munches batteries, small memory capacity.

The controls are very easy to use and navigate with. The only downside is even the shortest fingernails can get caught between the buttons with a variety of - equally painful - results.
The SWEEX PACIFIC 512MB MP3 PLAYER only has two serious problems with it. Primarily its ...
Advantages: great price, surge protector, fast connection (USB 2.0) Disadvantages: its pink!
I required this product as my laptop has only two usb ports which is nowhere near enough for myself. Using usb for connectivity i have a mouse, webcam, printer, external hard drive and flash sticks. After browsing for some time, i found this for under 5 pounds which amazed me, notihng else really came close to this product in terms of its price. As it is only a hub and not a key component to my workstation, the qualoty of this product was not too important so the Sweex 4 port mini usb 2.0 hub was perfect!
Anyone buying this or looking for a similar product should be sure to choose the right connection speed, 2.0 or a 1.1, if possible the 2.0 should be used as it is around ten times faster than the alternative.
This product also protects your workstation from surges or malfunctions in hardware like external hard drives and the 3 L ...
